All of these books look amazing and I am so excited to try them out. But there are a few HCC Frenzy Fall 2018 titles that I’m particularly excited about!

My Favourites

First is Damsel by Elana K. Arnold. Rooted in saving the ‘damsel in distress,’ this book is super intriguing to me. It’s perfect for fans of fairytales (i.e. me!) and looks like it will be an epic fantasy story. The HCC Frenzy team pitched it as perfect for fans of The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood and Elana K. Arnold’s previous book, What Girls are Made Of!

Next is Broken Things by Lauren Oliver. With my recent interest in the young adult thriller genre, I also have an interest in mysteries. I have not had the opportunity to read a Lauren Oliver novel, but this one is high on the top of my list. It reminds me so much of Pretty Little Liars and the HCC Frenzy Team said it is a twisty and addictive novel. It’s perfect for fans of We Were Liars by E. Lockhart and One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus.

What list would this be if I did not mention The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee! I feel like this is going to be a fantastic book and I will have to indulge in a re-read of The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue before it’s release.

In high-school, I was a fan of The Luxe series by Anna Godbersen. It is similar to Gossip Girl but set in the 1800s. When We Caught Fire is based on the events of the Chicago Fire which is enough to count it as an auto-buy for me!

I’ve already pre-ordered my copy of What If It’s Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera. Need I say more about my excitement for this meet-cute story?

Tahereh Mafi mixes her real life experiences into her newest book, A Very Large Expanse of Sea, which makes it a perfect contemporary. It’s not often that I read young adult novels with a serious tone, but I think this is an important story to hear. The cover is also absolutely gorgeous!!
